PDF and EPUB to audiobook
Any book you own, in a voice you like.
Not every book gets an audiobook, and the ones that do cost as much as the book again. ReadLoud reads the EPUB or PDF you already have, with chapter headings kept, a pace you control, and the full audio downloadable as one MP3.
Audio is generated as you listen and only for what you listen to. Abandon a book after two chapters and you have paid for two chapters.
EPUB, PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown
Structure comes through: chapters, headings, lists and quotes. Fully-skipped boilerplate makes no sound.
Narrator voices
Google's Chirp 3 HD narrator voices give an even, audiobook-like read in more than fifty languages.
One seekable file
When a book is fully generated, download it as a single MP3 with the chapter order intact.
Exact word sync
Word timings are measured against the audio you hear, not estimated, so the highlight sits on the word for a whole book.
Questions
- How much does a whole book cost?
- A 300-page novel is roughly ten hours of audio. On the largest pack that is under sixty dollars, and you only pay for the chapters you actually play.
- Is there a file size limit?
- 40 MB per file and 900,000 characters per document, which covers almost any single book.
